“Badges…we don’t need no stinking badges..we got these flag pins”

Staggering and stupefying news of the president's heinous crimes overshadowed by announcement of a geezer’s Super Bowl halftime gig

Is just having a nice day too much to ask for

What would be the result of a ballot measure if the choice was- pull back from the brink and reset, or rush headlong into the abyss?

When despair and sorrow and sadness start to seep in like smoke through chimney cracks, I turn my attention to the dogs I have known in my lifetime and am filled with gratitude.

Guaranteed nobody wants to hear my Ivan’s Childhood take on You Can See Everything

Bartleby trying to find something to watch on the few streaming services he begrudgingly subscribes to

Wondering if Larry David helped Obama with his speeches from yesterday..To atone for elevating Cheryl

Favorite film in haiku An old man’s dry eyes don’t see a tiger too well not stuck inside, no

What’s your medium of choice? What’s mine? The one we can pour the best of ourselves into. And if there‘s not any one way above another? Then one that presents itself. And it may not be a recognized form. Going with what seems to say come on, let’s do this

How are people proceeding in everyday life as if we’re not on a runaway train?

Midterm drama: The credulous, clueless, and haters, vs. the otherwise inclined who show up, or have bothered to drop a ballot. That‘s Act One. Nobody, and I mean nobody, knows how the second act goes, or how the spectacle concludes

The electorate is divided among three groups; those who want to bust the BS wide open, those who don’t, and those who can’t remember the question

Gonna take some out-of-the -box ‘Labors of Hercules’ type thinking and effort to deal with all the modes and manners of disruption in this election

I captured a green sea turtle at Liuqiu Island, Taiwan. It was on its ascent to the surface for air. #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #marinelifephotography #marinelife #seaturtle #ocean #scuba #eastcoastkin #photography

Not sure what’s the problem with Ilhan Omar’s name change. Why that’s disqualifying. Will MAGA be getting Vance to press the case, probably not

Sure, No Kings.. but it does seem GOP is hanging Trump out to dry, even if by his own insistence, like King Lear

Seen in passing

How it started “If it doesn’t fit you must acquit” How it’s going: “If they lose do not confuse, if they don’t comply, you must decry”

Breaking the Eisenhower Globe is an easier symbol to grasp than painting the building named for him white

Just finished reading this version, her work of a lifetime. She sifted, percolated, distilled from many translations, through scholarship and poetic sense. If I were attempting an ultimate summary, I’d say this book’s wisdom can be reduced to two words. Compassion. Humility.

Honest question: Is there any way to actually verify the voting results, and determine if any monkey business has been in play? Intimidation, disappearance of ballots, accepting results, seating winners..a different set of questions

Help me understand. The Frenzied MAGAs at rallies or wherever. Even the centrists who can’t give up their R status. Are they under red hats chanting, “We don’t mind whatever happened in Epstein world” “Take our money give it to the billionaires!“ “FU EPA NATO go away USA, USA ” Are they?

Non comparison, but think of all the people driven to seppuku for acts of dishonor, affronts which wouldn’t even scratch the radar in our corrupt society

As Trump clearly becomes increasingly unraveled, which writer do you nominate to compose inner monologues of those in his inner circle

We already know the country has the capacity to be hoodwinked, and debased. Soon we’ll discover our propensity for either abject humiliation or resolve

Each day pushing the depraved and extremely dubious envelope a bit more, why?

Feckless, Paralyzed, Colluding, Terrified….choose your fighter

Change motto from ‘E pluribus unum’ to ‘Habemus inter se dorsa’s’

A special episode of Reacher focusing on 25th Amendment

If only there was some way for voters to realize their government isn’t on the up-and-up before Election Day 🤔

Stacking crimes to distract from crimes…. Shifty genius

Would be interesting symmetry if Epstein file release had same timing as Comey letter

Autotune for political speeches so they all have Gilbert Gottfried voice

Current news cycle feels like we’re Sisyphus waking up with the boulder on our chest, and we have to wriggle out from under it before starting to push it uphill

PSA: Capitulation to the enemy is not the same as losing your star player by way of free agency

How much of the problem faced by DSA is directly traced to their name containing a triggering word? If they were called something like IDK….The Fairness Coalition or The Parity Party, would their reception be more acceptable

The midterms come down to a referendum on two things: -pin placement on public/private golf course greens -which palate cleansers to use between courses at ballroom banquets

People emulate their leaders, are incensed that anyone dare question any commands or proclamations

If the midterms are not the flipside of the Reagan/Mondale blowout of ‘84 something is seriously f’d up
